Thick painful suture coming through scar behind ear after facelift - 1 month post-op. (photos)

It looks as if you are spitting your sutures from your incisions.  These will need to be removed to prevent infection and further irritation.  If you can't afford to go back to your surgeon, I suggest finding someone in your area to take care of you.  Be prepared to pay for the service however.

It sounds as though you have some type of retained suture material in the suture line behind your ear after facelifting. Who knows what it is and therefore who knows if it will resorb or will continue to act as a foreign body. The management responsibility is between you and your surgeon. This is why elective facial aesthetic surgery should be performed by a surgeon who you can actively see postoperatively. Which surgeon do you think wants to be responsible for your problem now?
